Trying to get in ffxiv, not new to mmorpgs

[Koros]

social but also difficult content

ok then ignore 99% of the forums that hasn't done a single extreme or savage

go on the balance discord: https://www.thebalanceffxiv.com/

ask your questions there and get into raiding, the forums are literally pepegas and they will give you horrible advice

and don't use community finder to find statics (FF14 version of guilds) use discord

gilgamesh also used to be the raiding server back in HW, it won't be hard to find a social FC with raiders.
